In the dark
Where all the fevers grow
(fevers grow)
Under the water
Where the shark bubbles blow
In the mornin’
(Mornin’)
By yer radio
Do the walls close in t’suffocate ya
You ain’t got no friends . . .
An’ all the others: they hate ya
Does the life you been leadin’ gotta go?
Well, let me straighten you out
Get yer shoes ‘n socks on people, it’s right aroun’ the corner!Out through the night
An’ the whisperin’ breezes
To the place where they keep
The Imaginary DiseasesOut through the night
An’ the whisperin’ breezes
To the place where they keep
The Imaginary Diseases . . .Now scientists call this stupid disease Bromidrosis
And well they should
But us regular English-speaking ladies and gentlemen
Know this exquisite little inconvenience by the name of:
STINK FOOTHow true that is
Y’know, my python boot is too tight
I couldn’t get it off last night
A week went by, an’ now it’s July
I finally got that sonofabitch off
An’ my girl-friend cry
“You got STINK FOOT! STINK FOOT, darlin’
Your STINK FOOT puts a hurt on my nose!
STINK FOOT! STINK FOOT! I ain’t lyin’,
Can you rinse it off, d’you suppose?”

Bring the slippers, little puppy… Now let me ask you a question, does this look like a little puppy to you? How many say yes? How many say no? OK. we’re dealing with an audience with a very limited imagination tonight.. Let me convince you of one thing, ladies and gentlemen of Ljubljana, or wherever the fuck you’re coming from tonight… And some of you Italians, too. We don’t wanna leave you Trieste folks out … this is the puppy for tonight, believe me, this is the puppy, the [Levis] puppy, and has… wait a minute, wait a minute … this puppy, this [Levi]-manufactured puppy … has refused to bring me the slippers and that means it must be punished!

Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, about this dog, please remember, this dog is now, believe me, this dog is now a poodle. Do you have poodles in Ljubljana? OK. Let me tell you a little bit about the history of the poodle. When god first made the poodle it was a regular looking dog and had hair evenly distributed all over it’s tiny canine body. Then god made man and made woman out of the man. And as soon as the woman saw the poodle she made the man buy her a pair of scissors.
Now, the man, because he was a chump, bought the scissors for the woman. The woman took the scissors to the poodle and trimmed it. Right around here, fixed his nose to look like that, took a little bit off the middle, left a little bit on the end of the tail, a little bit on each foot, down there, down there, down there, down there and on this foot here and on this foot here and on this foot here, on this one here and a little bit more on this foot over here. Now this made the poodle one of the ugliest fuckin’ things you’ve ever seen in your life.
But did the woman care? No, she didn’t care what it looked like so long as it’s little nose was always wet his little tongue was always big and his little fuzzy feet always reached up and scratched on either side of that hairy little orifice between mom’s legs. And I am sure you realize deep down inside of your little Yugoslavian souls what I am really talking about. Now in case you don’t I’ll spell it right out for you – this poodle is eating your mother’s pussy live on stage in Ljubljana tonight, and we have a song about it and the song goes like this:
- besedilo v oglatih oklepajih je nerazumljivo ali pa je najboljši približek temu, kar se mi zdi, da pove. Če kdo razvozla te manjkajoče dele, bom hvaležen.
